Dyeing fiber can be super casual or super duper scientific. One can spill Kool-aid on their shirt with wonderful results, or one can earn a Master of Science in Textile Chemistry, also with wonderful results. The Kool-aid is relatively less expensive.
On the weekend of September 8 & 9, please join me at Fiber College for a super casual version of dyeing. Here's how it'll go down: Show up at the Drop in and Dye Tent during the Shopper's Boulevard hours (Sat 10:00 - 5:30, Sun 10:00 - 3:00), and bring with you a 'don't be scared' attitude and maybe some unloved natural fiber stash from home. I'll have various yarns for sale if you already love your stash as-is.
There will be two types of dyes available for sale in sample size portions: 'MX Reactive' dyes for plant fibers (cotton, linen, bamboo, hemp, rayon) and 'WashFast Acid' dyes for animal fibers (wool, silk, dog, angora, cashmere, llama). There will be a simple set up and easy to follow directions so you can get your feet wet, so to speak. And I'll be there to answer questions and cheer you on.

Where are you when I need you? There's a wonderful rocking chair in my house needing a new seat cover!
If I'm covering it, I'm sitting in it. There's an overlap on Tom's and my bucket lists, and it's House of Magnus.
I had a wonderful time dyeing with you (and Michelle) on Sunday. Thanks so much. My yarn is beautiful!!!
